225 couples got married on the same day I did, would have expected more (don't know why).

If you are married, is yours higher or lower than this? (You can find out through the BBC link below.)

  1. I’m surprised, it was a Saturday in August!
0lgaDaPolga · 17/05/2018 19:30
  1. Not that popular!

  1. Thought it would be less as before traditional "wedding season"
Storminateapot · 17/05/2018 19:31

1006, but it says the average number on that date is 216. I guess that takes into account it's only on a Saturday every few years. It was in January.

  1. We got married a week ago today GrinGrin

@alienspaceship My next thought was wondering how many had lasted as well Grin

@rallyannie think the lowest is 3 on one Christmas Day!

Why does mine say only 1,935 yet it's also 1 out of 366 days in popularity, weird?

Also call me thick but isn't there 365 days in a year?

Figgygal · 17/05/2018 19:45

3,535

It's our anniversary on Saturday

dramalamma · 17/05/2018 19:48

Only 112! No surprising since it was a Tuesday! Weirdly tho I know two other couples with the same date (in different years)

Pompom42 · 17/05/2018 19:52

4717
Seems fairly popular for June

Jammiebammie · 17/05/2018 19:54

152! I’m shocked, thought it would be way more tbh.

reallybadidea · 17/05/2018 19:56

@TheGherkin

Also 6674 - I wonder whether we got married on the same day? Maybe you're my husband...

FlyingElbows · 17/05/2018 19:58

1007, it was Christmas Eve.

TheGherkin · 17/05/2018 20:00

Probably not Grin

I just told H. He said ‘oh July is always popular for weddings’.

We got married in August (along with 6674 other couples.) Grin

emz1990 · 17/05/2018 20:01

2994 got married the same day as me and my DH

user139328237 · 17/05/2018 20:03

@need
the #out of 366 includes leap years (and therefore Feb 29) and is the average number of weddings on that date in all years (so obviously the figure will be higher in years the date fell on a Saturday and lower if it was a Tuesday).

LifeinColour · 17/05/2018 20:25

Arr @user139328237 how could I forget leap days!! My daughter was born on a leap day 😂

Kraggle · 17/05/2018 20:50

1548 on mine. Thought it would be lower as it was mid November!

Notonthestairs · 17/05/2018 20:59

937 - usually 263. January weddings obviously not v popular Grin

Duprasi · 17/05/2018 20:59

466 same day as us but we were the only wedding that day in our registery office Grin last weekend in November

Fintress · 17/05/2018 21:02

233 on the same day in the UK but we got married in the US.

AnotherOriginalUsername · 17/05/2018 21:05

510 - a Friday 13th

BlueSuffragette · 17/05/2018 21:07

Only 36, not a popular day but lasted the test of time.
